I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

    Yeah, let’s defederate from a major player that wants to participate in the decentralized nature of this protocol. That way we further fragment Mastodon and guarantee its failure in the long run! Good call!!!

      If you want corporate control go back to Facebook and Reddit. Seriously. There are places that do what you want already, no need to corrupt this one too.

      Ask yourself WHY are they trying to involve themselves in the fediverse? How can anyone have trust in such a corporation, even if it isn’t obviously negative to let them federate I have seen too much history of companies like Meta to believe a net good could come of it.

      Mastodon has been doing alright since it’s start, do you really think Meta wants to help them?
